EAEA
Held like water in you shaking hands
EAEA
are all the small defeats a day demands.
EABAE
10-6 or 9-5 trying, dying to survive.
EAE
Never knowing what survival means.
EAEA
Leave the apartment to buy alcohol.
EAEA
Hung our diplomas on the bathroom wall.
EAB
Pick at the plaster chipped away,
AE
survey some stunning tooth decay,
EAE
enlist the cat in the impending class-war.
BF#mA
Let's lay our bad day down here, dear
BF#mA
and make-believe we're strong,
EF#mA
or hum some protest song.
EA
Like maybe "We Shall Overcome Someday."
EAEA
Overcome the stupid things we say.
EAB
Say I needed more than this,
AB
say I needed one more kiss.
F#mEAEA
We left that light on way too long now.
BF#mA
Let's plant a bomb at city-hall and
BF#mA
kill an M-L-A.
EF#mA
We'll talk the night away.
EF#mA
You call in sick, I'll quit the word-games that I play.
EF#mA
I swear I way more than half believe it when I say
C# A
somewhere love and justice shine.
BE
Cynicism falls asleep.
C#A
Tyranny talks to itself.
BE
Sappy slogans all come true.
C#ABB
We forget to feed our fear.

The chords are all correct but the timing isn't as busy as you've written here; it's actually a really simple pattern.

AEAE
are all the small defeats a day demands.
AB A
Ten to six or nine to five trying, dying to survive.
E
Never knowing what survival means.
...and the same progression through the other verses. The B-F#m-A bits are right, but in the outro it's C#m not C#, and the timing is different:
C#m A
somewhere love and justice shine.
BE
Cynicism falls asleep.
C#mA
Tyranny talks to itself.
BE

C#mABE
We forget to feed our fear.
C#mABE repeat to end
